Too Perfect?

Looking back on it, I was quite cruel and really didn't give any explanation for what I was doing. I made the decision to eliminate a floor boss, I am changing level to the floor to not get them confused, and by doing so I get the attention of the other bosses. They will come to me instead of me having to go and find them. Although it may be dangerous I can quickly clear this dungeon and possibly get outside. On second thought that may have been a bad idea. A super-strong opponent could come out of nowhere. That would be the end. Wait, if I die would I go back to my other world or would I be dead for good?

I think it's better to not think about death at the moment. Let's focus on the current state of my living state and surviving first. I have not thought of a name for the second slime but I should give it one sooner rather than later. On second thought, you are a girl, right? Can slimes reproduce? From what I know it should be like asexual reproduction, like bacteria. Let's name her after my other dog, Medusa. Can you tell the theme of names my dogs had? They usually coincided with their personalities too. I should probably use the slimes as scouts to tell me if there is a monster or a danger ahead. As I told them to go-ahead, they spotted a reflective surface within a tree to the left.

On my way over there I see that it is actually inside the tree. Now that I am close enough to see inside the reflective surface was actually a dagger. Not one, but two of them connected by a chain. They almost look preserved with their near-perfect blade quality and fresh leather grips. It was almost as if someone had put them there for me. All of these events happening one after another, all to make me no longer think something like this is a coincidence. They were all planted to make me, specifically, stronger. The reason I do not know yet, but all of these events are too in line with a character-building arc. I again, do not like the foreshadowing going on here. I found out that I do not have to say the words aloud to activate skills. They just have to be said clearly in my subconscious. 'Inspect'

Wait since when did it show rarity? What I should be more excited about is the damage! That is a mega upgrade over my current sword. A downside is that I have to be much closer to my enemies though. But what is the plus three bonus for? It doesn't matter, don´t care. I hold them in my hands after getting the slimes to carry them out of the tree each holding one. They feel oddly comfortable and familiar to hold. One of them I instinctively held upright, but the other just went sideways and the back of the blade went to my forearm. It felt oddly… right. It did not take long for a window to appear. {You have learned a new job: Assassin} {You have learned a new job-specific skill: Hidden} {You have learned a new skill: Dagger arts (Beginner), (Intermediate). (Advanced)} Wow, I even got a new job just from holding them! Along with the job, I got two skills. Hidden allows me to go invisible and consumes a mana a minute. No way that is a broken skill! And the arts skill I have 2 of those already. Should I try hidden? 'Assassin' 'Hidden' I slowly begin to turn transparent. I can see the outline of my hand and arm but everything else is almost completely see-through. My feet can still be seen in the outline of leaves on the ground. I test some things and I barely feel the mana that left my body to use that skill.

This is all happening too fast. I am getting more broken, at how good I am getting, by the day. Has it even been a day? I wouldn't know because my body doesn't get tired anymore. I want to find my way out of here alive or even talk to another human being to gauge how fast I am advancing. For all that I know I could be the only human alive or that I am weak compared to other humans. I have no idea at this point in time. What I do need to focus on is living, and getting stronger only helps the odds of me living through this. Through all of this worrying, I am starting to be conscious of the effects of being alone can hinder the mental state of a person. My body probably couldn't be stronger in my previous world but my mental health has started to decline. I need to keep an eye out for this or it could lead to me going insane.

Feeling me be distraught the slimes came over to me and tried to comfort me. I appreciate the thought you guys but I need verbal communication. I think it's time to take a short break. Why don't you guys get something to eat and we will start moving again in an hour or two. Agreeing, Zeus and Medusa left to go foraging. I made a fire just to keep me busy. The warmth definitely helped. And I just relaxed for a bit.
